Correct version

Today, my daughter and I visited Tokyo Station to collect rewards from the Pokémon stamp rally. We received the extra-stage reward – a Black Rayquaza Medal – but we couldn’t get the first-stage reward – a large Pikachu card – because the distribution had already finished.
Afterwards, we had sushi for lunch at Sushiro, and then we bought a puzzle-solving game kit called Hachiban-deguchi at the Tokyo Chuo City Tourist Information Centre.

IELTS Improvement Points

Collocation:

visit [place] (without to)
 → In English, “visit” is not followed by to. Correct form: “visited Tokyo Station.”

collect rewards / receive rewards
 → Natural collocations for obtaining prizes. “Take rewards” is unnatural in this context.

distribution had finished / sold out
 → More idiomatic than “it got finished the number of distribution.” Shows mastery of aspect and collocation.

have sushi for lunch
 → Common and natural phrasing; “eat sushi for lunch” is fine but less idiomatic.

Template:

We couldn’t [do/get X] because [reason].
 → Useful structure for IELTS Speaking to explain outcomes or experiences clearly.

Afterwards / Later on, [activity].
 → Cohesive device for sequencing events, useful in both IELTS Speaking and Writing.

Vocabulary:

reward vs. prize
 → “Reward” = something you earn by completing a task (e.g., stamp rally). “Prize” = usually won in a competition. Distinguishing the two shows lexical precision.

puzzle-solving / problem-solving kit
 → Clear and natural phrasing for describing an interactive game. “Solving questioners” is unnatural.

Tourist Information Centre
 → Standard British English spelling (centre), useful in travel-related IELTS topics.
